Welcome to the UTA FSAE Webpage

Formula SAE is a worldwide engineering competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE). Each May SAE student members from almost 140 universities compete with an open-wheel style race car that they have designed and built. Competition points are awarded in the categories of presentation, design, cost, acceleration, skid-pad, autocross, endurance, and fuel economy. Competition rules require that each vehicle conform to frame safety standards, that the engine be no larger than 610cc, and that the engine use an airflow restrictor. Student's are challenged with frame design, engine tuning, suspension setup, marketing, and many other aspects. For the competition it is assumed that a manufacturing firm has requested a prototype car for evaluation as production item. The intended sales market is the nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Thus, this competition serves as a great experience for students!
